賈伯斯名言 – 談生活

Oct312011

“When you’re young, you look at television and think: There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”

conspiracy (n.) 是「共謀，陰謀」。conspire (v.) 是「共謀，密謀」。network (n.) 是「電視聯播網」。dumb down 是「使變得不聰明、簡單、不清楚」，如：to dumb down history textbooks (使歷史課本變得太簡單)。bein business 是「開業」，如：The company has been in business for over 20 years. (這家公司已開業超過 20 年。) depress (v.) 是「令人沮喪、消沉」；depression (n.) 是「憂鬱症」。

賈伯斯還說過這句話：”We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.”「我們認為基本上你看電視來關閉你的大腦，而你在電腦上工作是當你想用腦的時候。」我個人認為：看電視帶給我的壞處大於它帶給我的好處；因此，我已不隨便開電視。
